Nigerian Presidential hopeful, and Labour Party candidate, Peter Obi held a campaign rally recently in Ibadan, southwest Nigeria, which was attended by a large crowd. The elections are scheduled for February 2023.
Obi promised to bring about several positive changes in the administration and build a new Nigeria. There was a voter base of 84,004,084 for the 2019 election and the electoral commission hoped to add at least 20 million new voters by 2023. Insecurity, the sluggish economy, and rampant corruption are the key factors that will decide the election outcome.

Seventeen other candidates are running for the top job, including Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress party and Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party. Analysts are of the opinion that so far there is no front-runner from the candidates from four established parties. There are also predictions that the elections will be, by and large, peaceful, unlike the previous ones. The gesture of the incumbent president Buhari not to be a candidate for the coming election is highly appreciated. The heads of state in the continent are known for amending the constitution to be in power for more than the stipulated period of two terms.
